Flat Rock Academic Virtual Academy

Summary:

Flat Rock Academic Virtual Academy is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in the Flat Rock Community Schools district, with a relatively small student population of 144. Despite the school's virtual format, it has consistently underperformed compared to nearby traditional high schools like Flat Rock Community High School.

Flat Rock Academic Virtual Academy ranks in the bottom quartile of Michigan high schools, with low academic performance, poor graduation rates, and high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. The school's 4-year graduation rate is only 70.9%, much lower than the 96.3% rate at Flat Rock Community High School and 88-97% rates at other nearby schools. Additionally, the school has experienced high dropout rates ranging from 4.3% to 19.6%, significantly higher than the 0.8-9.2% rates at the nearby traditional high schools. Flat Rock Academic Virtual Academy also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 46.8% to 56.6%, much higher than the 19-37.5% rates at the nearby traditional high schools.

The school's low academic performance is further reflected in its poor test scores, with only 12.8-21.3% of students proficient or better on state assessments in 2023-2024, compared to 38.5-51.3% at the Flat Rock Community Schools district and 26.3-51.3% statewide. These challenges may be exacerbated by the school's higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (68.75%) compared to the nearby traditional high schools (29.71-61.3%), suggesting that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population. While the school's per-student spending has increased significantly, from $5,433 in 2019-2020 to $11,432 in 2022-2023, this increased funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's struggles.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
